Comparing the Association, Educational Foundation,
and Legal Advocacy Fund
The Association—with
more than 100,000 members, 1,300 branches, and 550 college/university
institution partners nationwide—advocates education and equity.
Since its founding in 1881, members have examined and taken positions
on the fundamental issues of the day—educational, social, economic,
and political.
The AAUW Educational
Foundation—the world's largest source of funding exclusively
for graduate women—supports aspiring scholars around the globe,
teachers and activists in local communities, women at critical stages
of their careers, and those pursuing professions where women are underrepresented.
The AAUW Legal Advocacy
Fund provides funding and a support system for individuals seeking
judicial redress for sex discrimination. The AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund,
a program of the AAUW Educational Foundation, is the nation's largest
legal fund focused solely on sex discrimination in higher education.
About This Web Site
The earliiest AAUW Texas web presence was established by state president Nora Garza in 2000. When Malinda Gaul took office in 2002, a fresh start was made by Mynda McGuire, the first AAUW member webmaster and designer on the HOMESTEAD platform. That website was ready in less than 3 months.
Mynda expanded the site under state president, Pat Ross, 2004-2006. It became a strong tool for branches and a repository of much of the history of AAUW in Texas in anticipation of AAUW Texas' 100th anniversary in 2008.
At the start of Linda Conger's term, 2006-2008, Margo Johnson took
over as web maintainer and the site was completely re-designed by Debbie
Campbell (West Harris County and Houston Branches) and moved to its
current Site5 platform.
